16oz can poured into a snifter
A- pours brown in color with a one-finger foamy off-white head, some ruby color coming through the glass
S- aroma opens up with coconut cream, caramel & toffee. Undertones of vanilla bean, marshmallow cream, brown sugar & jammy peach
T- malty sweet caramel and toffee up front is immediately followed by coconut cream. Mid-palate gives a ripe, jam-like unexpected peach note, followed by a wave of vanilla. The finish brings out brown sugar, more caramel & toffee and creamy coconut. Lingers of caramel coconut
M- medium body with moderate carbonation leads to a foamy mouthfeel that turns creamy into the finish

Look: It pours brown with a tan head. Head retention is low.
Smell: It has a sweet aroma to it that feature stone fruit and coconut. There are some toffee elements with a bit of marmalade.
Taste: The flavors are strong and sweet with coconut, peach, marmalade, and toffee. There are some cherry notes in the background with a touch of tobacco.
Feel: It has a full body and finishes sweet as well.
Overall, sweeter than normal barleywines, but not so much that it makes the beer unpleasant. The flavor combinations work rather well together.
